I dont see how anyone can see this as a positive.

We have signed someone that nobody has ever heard of, And in this, Stopped one of our youth players development. This guy cant be much better than we have, Otherwise he would be playing more for the goons than he is.

The club is an absolute joke, If i was a youth player at the club i would be contacting Wakefield right away trying to get a transfer to thier youth system, As they have no chance of making it in ours while Richard Wright and Terry Matterson are running the show

I didnt mind Mike Cooper and Shaun Ainscough, As at least they were proven at Super League level, But this kid isnt, And i would have much rather have seen John Davies given the game time, Nevermind though, He will probably go to another SL side, Under a coach who actually has some ability and will end up been a Super League regular at a side much better than us, Ala Blanche, Mason, Lunt, Watts... Plus all the others we have turned away in the past

The club is officially a joke

Yeah, We will give him 4 games experience that will bring him on leaps and bounds, Then send him back to yourselves so you can reap the rewards, Unless a loan signing with as little experience as him, Wants a permanent move, I wouldnt touch them, Just help our own kids development instead

Maybe. just maybe (and I know it's a long shot) our head coach is a better judge of a players ability than the armchair coaches on this board.

For the record (and according to the Wakey board) Gledhill was playing for Westgate Redoubt and was offered contracts from Wakey, Cas and Leeds, opting for Wakey as it is his home town club (born in Horbury).

This loan signing could end up being more.Hes well behind Tomkins,hansen,mossop, bailey and if Farrell hadnt playing last thursday for widnes then he would have been on the bench against you men..I can see Tuson stayng long term.

And all the others that have gone? The point is it isn't just the one is it PA?

But have we? Would Massey/Davies etc have got on the Wigan bench on Sunday?

Others may have gone because they were offered more money, felt their careers lie elsewhere, they weren't developing quickly enough etc. Loyalty to your hometown club is a rare commodity these days, money talks and I would much rather have a stable financial footing than be held to ransom by some POTENTIAL 'star' in the making.

not a chance

Its simply no good, talking sense in this fashion will only result in you being labelled as a closet wakey/fev/wigan fan.

As a glass half full kind of guy, and having watched cas for 20+ years, I predict no good will come of it.

We are all doomed.

Some people are moaning- sack the board, sack the coach, the players arent good enough etc but i cant remember a season when that wasnt the case, we had a good season last year and people moaned from start to finnish. On here and cas forum some posters dont post unless its to say something negative about the club.

I think bringing in some extra bodies when we have a tough easter schedule up ahead is the right move, at the moment going into the game against the taffs we have 23 players fit at most, lose a couple to injury and we are facing a tough easter programme with 21 players, which of course would result in yet more moaning on here.

It was interesting that they mentioned on Radio Leeds on Sunday that there's genuine frustration amongst the Cas fans at the moment at the fact that young players are not being given opportunities in the first team, despite there being several successes with blooding them in the last couple of years.

For some reason this gravy train seems to have come shuddering to a halt but there's no obvious reason why. If we have so many good young players, why do we have such a thin squad that we have to loan from other clubs? Is that they're deemed not ready? Is that they're deemed not good enough? If they're not ready, then what are the coaching staff doing to get them ready and to prevent them from upping sticks. If they're not good enough then why are they here in the first place?

Wasnt that Karl Harrison, Bonz

I believe it was.
